Carolyn Black lives in Toronto, where she works at the University of Toronto, turning early modern manuscripts into books. She Facebooks here. The Odious Child, published by Nightwood Editions, is her first collection.

"A fragile life form a new writer is – much as with a creature that washes up on a beach, crowds will circle, children will poke with sticks, and the first impressions will be comparisons. Donald Barthelme? Sure, a little. Joy Williams? That’s a good one, but Carolyn Black’s work defies easy comparison. Edward Gorey renting an apartment in Little Portugal? Okay, I’ll just stop now...."
